Sept 26, 1960: the action-adventure TV show THE BLUE ANGELS premiered. The series includes storylines in which the Navy's precision flight demonstration team is needed to lead combat missions. It only lasted one season but gave Burt Reynolds one of his earliest acting gigs.


The U.S. Navy co-operated in the production of this TV show and the footage of the Blue Angels flying in formation and performing their stunts was film of the actual Blue Angels flying their Grumman F11F Tiger jets.

The Navy Department would have preferred that the show be more realistic and depict the Blue Angels as strictly Naval Officers and precision pilots. The Navy often voiced their displeasure about the more exciting parts of the show where the Blue Angels were crime busting heroes. After one such objection, the series producer, Sam Gallu stated, "How the hell does the Pentagon know what happens to a Blue when he's off duty?"



Sept 26, 1962: B-supernatural horror CARNIVAL OF SOULS premiered in Lawrence, Kansas. After a traumatic accident, a woman becomes drawn to a mysterious abandoned carnival. The premise is similar to that of The Twilight Zone episode The Hitch-Hiker (1960).

With a $30,000 budget its original theatrical release in 1962 was a box-office failure. Subsequent airings on late-night television helped it gain a strong cult following. It's now regarded as a landmark in psychological horror. The failure to include a copyright notice on the film's prints automatically placed the picture into the public domain in the US.

The Criterion Collection issued a 2-disc DVD set of the film in 2000, featuring both a 78-minute theatrical version and an extended 84-minute director's cut. In 2016, the Criterion Collection reissued the film on DVD, as well as premiering it on Blu-ray, featuring a new restoration.
